Premium Member Randomized Attack

Should I get back
To the randomized drum attack
Or what would you let
Me survive and drum
Upon a double bass drum dream

Premium Member The Dancer

You numb my eyes
From tippity-top
To eight count plies
Rhythmic grooves 
Crossing hard waxed floors
Bouncing orange orbs denied	
Double bass pounding, pounding
In my ears
Heart
Pride
Moving like soft water
Untethered sass
Yesterday’s child
Today a Dancer
Numbing eyes

Orchestra of Love

Embracing eyes upon sight

Swirling as a whirlwind

Clasping lips together as one

Hearts in sync as a double bass

A Symphony of Violins

Quivering tones of Love

As Bass Woodwinds

With Sounds of Angels harps

Reaching deep into the soul

Beethoven whispering tunes

In this Theater

of Love

Hanging With the Moon

Hanging With The Moon 

Moving to the deep hollow 

rhythm of the double bass 

coupled the with

dance of the piano keys 

and the slow cadence of the guitar strum.

This Master of Jazz carries me away,

off to an old flowing riverboat,

cruising off into the sunset,

taking my restless feet with it,

so I can hang with the Moon,

for a while.

Premium Member The Jezebel Rondine

Raised up gooseflesh dipped in metal,
a shiver runs right down my spine;
Every emotion they enshrine,
somehow the scream helps me settle;
Please hit that double bass pedal,
I’ll throw you a devil horn sign;
Raised up gooseflesh;
They view me as the jezebel,
a black fishnet flavored outline;
With a head bang everything’s fine,
healing factor with no equal;
Raised up gooseflesh.

Mood As An Instrument

Your moods are like sounding boards.
You can sound serious or sad like a cello or double bass,
you can sound aggressive or violent like a bass drum,
heavy and repetitive like a marching drum;
but also cheerful and lively like a piano or a tambourine.
It all depends on the wood you are made of,
of the frame and the capacity to vibrate
and the "soul" that supports the weight of the tensioned strings.

We'Ll Definitely Be Back

Glissandos
with a twist of tangy lime
arpeggios
in starched cuffs and gleaming buttons
sparkle from the ivories
of a Baldwin baby grand
leaving the root notes
for the double bass to play

It's honey
in be-bop
pure rich amber honey
with a cinnamon stick
and a drop of syncopation
blending in soft beats
of a hi-hat
gentle brushes on a tom

A second round
of drinks arrives
as conversations hush
and candles flicker

Our new favorite diner
with smooth live jazz
on Wednesdays
